If you read the link on what a SWAP file is, you already know it is kept on the hard drive. Or in the case of your window mobile phone, the part of the ROM used for “storage memory”. So imagine when you start your phone and have not done anything as yet, you have a small swap file but this SWAP file gets bigger when you are doing things on the phone and the OS see the need to make it bigger. What do you think happens when it tries to make the SWAP file bigger to run e.g. a video a play an audio file and only see there is only 10mb left on the phone? Let me tell you one of the things that start happening ...... rather than tell you it can’t do what you want it to do it starts shutting down things that it thinks you are not using at the time so it can free up space in the SWAP file without making it bigger. This works sometimes but most times it just shuts down something that is not important to what you are doing at the moment but is very important to the basic functionality of a PHONE.
Not knowing what is going on the first think an ignorant person will say is the HTC HD2 is no good and why “O” why did they buy it. But the fact is... if you left the space for the OS to function it would not start behaving unpredictable.
What is the solution?
Factory reset your ROM to its original state
And then do regular maintenance to keep the ROM organised and with enough free space for it to function properly.

... moreHi Lynn....
Here are the details..
Please read this and try to do as much of it as possible to save yourself some headache with your HD2.

Your HD2 is running on an OS called “windows mobile” which when it was first created, was an attempt by Microsoft to make a version of “windows desktop” lite enough to work on a pocket-able device with very limited memory and storage space. Thus the name “Pocket PC” What this means is, most of the programming and the behaviour of the Mobile OS is similar to the Desktop OS (Seeing that a hard drive would not fit in a pocket size device a type of memory called “ROM” was used as long term storage. The ROM could be broken into 3 partitions storage/Program /ROMs because the type of ROM used is “EEPROM”)
The good: native windows files would open on the portable device without needing conversion first.
The Bad: the OS uses the SWAP file system for memory management which is not ideal for a portable device with limited storage space.
If you don’t know what a SWAP file is, read the entire article at the link below. http://www.ptdd.com/datarecovery/swap.htm
If you don’t understand the difference between ROM, ROMs, RAM & FLASH, which are all used by your HD2 please read the entire article at the link below.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory
When windows mobile was lunched it was not developed for cell phones and the programs were alot smaller than they are now, with very limited graphics. The OS was adopted by cell phones and 3rd party software advanced in parallel to hardware but the OS codes remained the same and there is where the problem is for people that don’t understand how it works.
If you look at the spec for the Desire HD and some other phones, there in no mention of the word ROM.
This is not because those devises don’t have a ROM, it’s because those devises don’t let the user install or copy/remove data from the ROM. instead they have separate memory for the user to access.
When people read that this phone has 512mb of ROM they assume that it is 512mb of space for them to use. Will that is WRONG thinking.
That ROM is broken into 3 parts.
1. The “ROMs” so you can restore the phone without having to hook it to a PC to upload the OS and more.
2. The “Program memory” this is where the programs, drivers, and OS are loaded when they are actually running.
3. The “Storage memory” this where you install programs and keep files (when you didn’t using the SD FLASH card). In newer smart phones together with phone OS they have realised it is SMARTER to put this part on a separate chip and not the same chip as the “ROMs” and the “Program memory”
So out of the 512mb only a small portion is left for you the user to access.
A well know rule of the windows OS is... never let ANY of your drives fall below 10% free space, it makes defragmenting the drive imposable and brings the system to a crawl or even crashing down.
This rule applies to the Windows mobile OS as well. So you try to never let the free space on your SD and ROM fall below 10%. Your ROM is 512mb, that works out to 511.2mb is the minimum free space you should have on the ROM at all times. You would not have to worry about this if the storage memory was separate from the ROMs and the program memory but because it’s all one ROM, if any part is seeing problems then the ROM is only as fast and stable as the weakest link.

Lynn, 10 Oct 2010Thanks Anthony for quick reply.
have got 10 Mb free phone storage 110Mb memory card storage.
... moreLOL my first question is always the problem.
it's your only problem.
internal storage too too too too too TOO, way too low. you should have to take the battery out every time the phone sleep just to get it started again. you should not go below 51.2mb.
factory rest and you will be good to go again. don't feel bad, It's a mistake every newbe to Windows Mobile make. i'll explain in detail when I get home later, and give you some tips I use my self to avoid the problem all together.

Thanks Anthony for quick reply.

Lynn, 09 Oct 2010Hi Anthony I need your urgent advice for my Hd2 the problem with it iz it drop its total signa... moreneed more info....
what is your internal storage free space?
what is your ROM version?
are you using a cooked ROM?
what did you install in the past 3 weeks?
what settings did you change in the past 3 weeks?
when you lose all signal, what symbol do you see in the task bar?
when then phone don't ring but you get voice mail, what symbol is in the task bar?
what is the time interval you have for your email download for each account you have setup?
do you use a dual sim card holder?
do you remove your sim often?
are the connectors on your sim clean?

answer them all in detail so I can figure it out.
no slag, no shortening the centance. you don't want me to miss understand what you are saying.

tallie, 09 Oct 2010hi anthony,i want to try my first custom rom on my hd2,which one would you suggest i try first... moreI personaly can't recommend any cooked ROM. the last time I used a cooked ROM was back in February and a lot has changed after then. I'm still using an original HTC 1.66 UK ROM. and did my own tweaking with .cab files,changing setting, deleting the unwanted crap, htc hotfix files and I updated my radio version.

In short what am saying is, I can't tell you what you will like. you have to try as many as you want, till you know what you want to stay with.

my only advice is.... read all the info on the page you get the ROM from because they normaly tell you the recommend method to use to install there ROM, and if there ROM needs a particular radio version or if it comes with the radio.

Someone please tell me where I can buy the External Multi Media Battery 2350mAh Esp.in Bangkok Thailand for my HD2 coz I'm a heavy user of the phone and I end up charging my phone almost on a daily basis.

Hi Anthony I need your urgent advice for my Hd2 the problem with it iz it drop its total signal cos i have set 1min time and after that it locks itself and at the same time it drops its signals to zero untill it getz unlocked and even i am expecting a call and waiting for it that goes straight to voice mail and some times even i unlocked it still dosnt catch up any signal for 2 or more mins please help why is it doing this.?It has just started doing this about two weeks before.
thanks

I'm betting the space you left is so small that when your phone tries to restore files/drivers when you press to wake it out of sleep, it just can't do it.
(or maybe you are using cookie home tab lock screen, which has a waking problem for me so I don't use it.)
